Might be a solution - They have apparently been used for years in
certain applications - and definitely the CHEAPEST solution at about
30 greenbacks. Not sure if it is the BEST solution though - and it
MIGHT not eliminate the other issue with the "never-ending' repair
scenario


In my corner of the world, the best solution is to rip that galvanized
pipe junk out and install copper.

You must be in the same corner as I. I ripped the gal pipe out of my
first house and replaced it with copper. In my second house, the gal had
already been replaced with copper and this current house had copper from
new. ;-)

It is a lot of work replacing the gal with copper. When the pipes barely
flowed water because of internal buildup over 45 years, I figured
repairs weren't a viable possibility.
